Building and Timber Pest Inspection
Description
For complete peace of mind when buying a property, South West House Inspections offers a comprehensive combined Building and Timber Pest Inspection package deal. This service provides a detailed evaluation of the property's condition, identifying both structural defects and hidden pest activity that is not always obvious to the untrained eye. The building component is conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, covering all accessible internal and external areas. This includes a visual inspection of the roof cavity, subfloor, wet areas, external cladding, fencing, and outbuildings to identify major and minor structural or non-structural defects, as well as safety hazards. The pest inspection is performed in collaboration with a termite detection specialist utilizing expensive but essential equipment, including advanced thermal imaging cameras and radar movement tracking technology, to locate hidden termite activity. We handle all the logistics, promptly liaising with sales agents, owners, and tenants to schedule the inspection. Clients receive a highly detailed, easy-to-read 30-40 page report with extensive photographic evidence within 24 hours of the inspection. We also follow up with a phone call to discuss the findings, empowering you to negotiate effectively on remedies or price and proceed with confidence.
